Not every artist can say they’ve created a new genre, particularly coming from a place as musically rich as Brazil. But SILVA, a rapidly rising young multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, is staking a claim as the originator of “Brazilian dream pop.”

His “delicious pop melodies” (Rolling Stone Brazil) thrill crowds who know his lyrics by heart and sing along at major music festivals such as Lollapalooza Brazil and Rock in Rio.

Singing in English and Portuguese, he has shared the same stage with artists including The xx and Lana Del Rey and is poised to win over new fans with his unique blend of catchy electronic pop built on a Brazilian foundation.
